CIA is playing a funny game here. With it's "former" Intel officers. Nothing is going to change, torture will continue. This is a useless debate. Smoke and mirrors imo.

I agree....

Doublethink is the act of simultaneously accepting as correct two mutually contradictory beliefs. It is related to, but distinct from, hypocrisy and neutrality.
-
The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.

great video, when I saw that on Olbermann a few days back it validated my opinion stated here for years. I'd like to see HH6 and others supporting torture address these points.

It may be being used as a distraction, but that doesn't make the topic unworthy. I think the primary use of the distraction here is to put righties on the defensive rather than offensive and to also force neocons in hiding to show their true colors. It's working.

Ah yes..this guy. The folks in the milblogesphere were hot and heavu over this douchbag a few months ago when his book came out. he claimed to be the guy who helped get Zarquwi. He even said he was there. He got crushed. This guy is an anti-war darling. I've got nothing for u Hugo.

proof please. I'm open to believing you but I'd like a little back up to that since it's a major accusation.

He was there.
This is an interesting statement I thought.
"The American public has a right to know that they do not have to choose between torture and terror. There is a better way to conduct interrogations that works more efficiently, keeps Americans safe, and doesn’t sacrifice our integrity. Our greatest victory to date in this war, the death of Abu Musab Al Zarqawi (which saved thousands of lives and helped pave the way to the Sunni Awakening), was achieved using interrogation methods that had nothing to do with torture. The American people deserve to know that."[

The right wingers dont care if it was illegal... They dont care that the "info they claimed to get" is really a big fat lie... CAUGHT RED HANDED... But im sure they will say "WHO CARES OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!!!

Well 04 Major Alexander claims to be or was billed as the "chief interrogator" in Iraq. He's a fucking major..he's not the chief of anything. He was not an intel guy. CAG took down Zarqawi and his location and the intel provided had nothing to do with this guy. Hugo i will get u a link.
I served for 14 years in the U.S. Air Force, began my career as a Special Operations pilot flying helicopters, saw combat in Bosnia and Kosovo, became an Air Force counterintelligence agent, then volunteered to go to Iraq to work as a senior interrogator. What I saw in Iraq still rattles me -- both because it betrays our traditions and because it just doesn't work.
This guy uses a fake name. U don't go from a pilot to an interrogator...thats not even close to how it works. Officers don't conduct interrogations and ones at this level would be conducted by CIA types working with JSOC. There is alot more to it but thats all I can recall. this guy is a fraud or overstating his case to sell books. He was a celebrity to the anti-war left for a bit.
